Whartonize Guide: On-Campus Technology

On-Campus Technology Intro

Wharton Computing labs, public computers, and printers are open to Wharton faculty, students, and staff. University students who have a current Penn ID card and are registered for a Wharton class can take advantage of these offerings. Keep your Penn card with you at all times -- as you will need it to print and for entrance into the Wharton buildings after hours.

SPIKE mobile and the LCD screens in Huntsman Hall show current availability of public computers.

Logging In and Out of Public Computers

pressing the CRTL-ALT-DEL keys simultaneously and clicking Log Off, OR

choosing Log Off from the Start menu.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you wait until you are completely logged off the computer before leaving. If you have unsaved documents or if a program freezes, it may not log out completely, leaving your email and printing account vulnerable. You are legally and financially responsible for any activity on your account.

Hours of Operation

Jon M. Huntsman Hall is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so the public technology is accessible during those times. Holiday and Summer hours will be announced. There may be times when one or more labs are closed for instructional use, but there will always be one lab available for student use.

Group Study Rooms

57 group study rooms located on the first four floors of Huntsman Hall that serve as mini-labs where students can do research, work on group projects and create presentations 24 hours a day. Each seats approximately six people around an oblong table and offers a full complement of technology, including capabilities for audio conferencing, connectivity between group work stations, smart whiteboards, and Internet access. Any full-time Wharton student can make the reservation for the group using SPIKE. There are also group study rooms available in the Van Pelt Library for anyone with a PennKey -- click here to learn more.

Bloomberg and Skype/Google Hangout Stations

Bloomberg Terminals

Bloomberg terminals are located in the Forum Level of JMHH across from the entrance to F75 Computer Labs, and in Lippincott Library. These terminals are dedicated to Bloomberg research and do not have the same software as typical Wharton lab computers.

Skype/Google Hangout Stations

All of Wharton's public computers have SKYPE installed; however, designated stations are located at the top of the entrance ramp on the Ground floor of JMHH and have computers with SKYPE, Google Hangout and webcams installed. Just remember to bring your own headphones!
